Exempt Development

Certain forms of low-impact development do not need planning or construction approval if certain development standards are met. Exempt development covers approximately 80 categories of development including, residential, commercial and industrial.

State Environmental Planning Policy (Exempt and Complying Development Codes) 2008 specifies exempt development across NSW. While most exempt development provisions are covered by the State Environmental Planning Policy, there are a small number of exempt development types contained within the Tamworth Regional Local Environmental Plan 2010.
